Built Together 2025: A Note from our Founders

To our WYN community,

Every year carries its own energy. Some years stretch us. Some years steady us. This one brought clarity.

In 2025, WYN found its rhythm — not by doing more, but by focusing on what truly matters. That clarity shaped our products, our partnerships, and the way we continue to show up for our community.

Today, WYN is known around the world for aerodynamic tri suits, but also, equally, for our deeply connected endurance community. Watching that reputation grow has been incredibly meaningful. Hayden Wilde’s season captured this momentum perfectly: six T100 wins, an overall series title, and all of it raced in the prototype Wilde Racer aero tri suit, the first of its kind. Seeing innovation tested, trusted, and proven at the highest level is a reminder of why focus matters.

Our professional roster continues to inspire us. Kat Matthews delivered a standout year with a win at Ironman Texas (North American Championships), second place at the Ironman World Championships, and the Ironman Pro Series title. Ashleigh Gentle added a T100 French Riviera victory alongside countless other strong performances. The results of each of our professional sponsored athletes reflect shared standards, trust, and a collective pursuit of excellence.

Thank you, legends.
Braden Currie, Josh Amberger and Aaron Royle have each announced their retirement from professional triathlon in 2025, bringing to a close three remarkable careers that helped shape an era of the sport. From fearless racing and unforgettable performances to the professionalism and character they brought to every start line, each of them has left a lasting mark on triathlon in Australia, New Zealand and around the world.

On behalf of everyone at WYN republic, we thank Braden, Josh and Aaron for the inspiration, the memories and the impact. We wish them nothing but success as they move into the next chapter.

Beyond triathlon, our run collection continued to quietly build a loyal following. Pieces like the Stride Shorts, On-Call Bra, and Hybrid Shorts proved once again that thoughtful design and function-first thinking resonate — and keeping them in stock has been a good problem to have.

At the heart of WYN is community. Our WYN Racing Team (WYNR) continues to grow, with 1,100 athletes worldwide heading into 2026. This year, more than 100 WYNR athletes lined up at the 70.3 World Championships in Marbella, and we finished second in the Ironman Tri Club Series for the second year in a row. What makes WYNR special isn’t just the results — it’s the culture: supportive, inclusive, competitive, and fun.

Giving back remains a core part of who we are. Through our ongoing 1% for the Planet commitment, we focused our environmental support on protecting Hawaiian coastlines, while continuing meaningful contributions to Kit Bag For Kids, helping ensure the organization has the staffing needed to keep their impact growing. We also expanded our partnership with Tri Mob, reinforcing our commitment to increasing access and representation in endurance sport.

As founders, we continue to live the endurance journey alongside you. This year brought a few ultra-trail podiums and the 'bucket list' completion of my first 100-mile ultra trail race. Luke continued his love of HYROX, qualifying once again for the World Championships. These experiences keep us grounded, curious, and deeply connected to why we build WYN the way we do.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re excited to keep refining, innovating, and growing WYN in ways that feel intentional, human, and true to the community that brought us here.

Thank you for being part of WYN — for trusting us, racing with us, and helping shape what this brand stands for.

With thanks,

Beth & Luke McKenzie
and the WYN republic team
